Just a 3 minutes’ walk from Yudanaka Station in Yamanouchi, Hotel Yudanaka features natural hot spring baths, and offers free Wi-Fi and parking.

Hotel Yudanaka is a 15-minute drive from Ryuo Ski Park and 20 minutes by bus to Snow Monkey Park

The room was much bigger than I anticipated, and in a Japanese style (with tatami) so I was pleasantly surprised. The onsen in the hotel was an absolute delight. It had several baths with different temperatures, a lounge space, a sauna, a cold bath (which can be rare), and of course everything needed to wash yourself thoroughly before going into the baths. The hotel also provides body towels as well as face towels, so you don't need to bring yours. They have lockers to keep your items safe while bathing. There's free breakfast (little pieces of bread + some juice and coffee/tea) and a space on the first floor to relax after the onsen for example. It has wifi there as well.

Yudanaka Seifuso is located in the Yudanaka hot springs area, surrounded by scenic mountains. It features 3 hot spring baths and traditional Japanese-style rooms with tatami-mat (woven-straw) flooring.

It was a super authentic Ryukan experience, the host was super friendly and courteous. We recommend booking the authentic breakfast and diner for full experience. If you travel as a couple there is even a private onsen you can use together. Everything was super Clean. 100% recommendation

A 3-minute walk from Yudanaka Station, Hotel Tsubakino features indoor and outdoor hot spring baths with a vista of snowy mountain peaks. The hotel offers Japanese-style rooms with free Wi-Fi.

From Tsubakino Hotel it is a 40-minute drive to Jigokudani Monkey Park, as well as to the Hokusai-kan Museum in Obuse Town.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Hotel Tsubakino. The staff were extremely helpful and thoughtful in their service. We enjoyed the very relaxing onsen as well as the evening sake tasting and the delicious breakfast provided. The house apple juice was fantastic and we bought a bottle to take with us. They kept our luggage after check-out while we were visiting monkeys. We would definitely recommend staying here!
